Pros

Team members are problem-focused. We are strategic about where we invest our resources so that we can simplify security + compliance the most for our customers. People are thoughtful, considerate, and pragmatic. The company has strong product-market fit b/c the whole team always do their homework. This is only possible with strong collaboration. There's a clear mission to secure the internet and protect consumer data. And w/ the ability to find good product/market fit, it's exciting to see us make progress on this mission.

Cons

Today, our biggest challenge is to keep up the pace with market demand. We are constantly looking for ways to scale and evolve more effectively!

Burnout and leave

Anonymous employee

Pros

* Remote-first culture with flexibility. * Competitive market-rate compensation.

Cons

* **Too many layers of management.** There are excessive management layers that often create bottlenecks and encourage micromanagement instead of empowering employees to better serve customers and build great products. * **Lack of investment in IC.** Many teams remain understaffed, resulting in consistently high workloads. Burnout is common, and employees are frequently expected to take on responsibilities well beyond their role and pay band without recognition. * **"Flexible PTO" doesn't feel truly flexible.** While the company advertises flexible PTO, in practice there appears to be an informal limit/fake. Taking around three weeks or more of PTO can draw leadership attention, and it can feel like using the benefit may negatively affect performance reviews, even when work expectations are met. This discourages employees from taking the time off they need to recharge.

Pros

decent pay, remote, ai-forward, supportive of experimentation

Cons

employees can often seen very disengaged and transactional. also communication and follow up when working on projects could be *a lot* better. i have often found a handful of employees to also not be as approachable as others. information is very scattered and there is rarely a single source of truth for stuff
